It varied depending on who was participating and where it was being held.

For the most part gauges weren't allowed, this could include eye and throat to prevent maiming. Other then that there were few other rules. It was an all out fight intended to be used in combat to kill one's opponent. The Spartans were often banned from competition as they were trained in the fighting techniques since they were young.
